All the reporters present were stunned. It turned out that someone from the Revolutionary Party sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang. From Tao Chengzhang's words, they also heard that he was targeting Sun Wen. What explosive news this was. The Provisional Republic of China
The president actually sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, a revolutionary hero. What was the reason and what impact would it have on the political direction of the Republic of China? This is definitely big news, both for Chinese and foreign reporters.
At this time, a young reporter suddenly stood up and asked directly: "Mr. Tao, do you have any evidence? It is a false accusation with ulterior motives. I believe in Mr. Sun's character. He is a well-deserved leader. You are not allowed to slander him."
!" This young man is the editor-in-chief of "Hanmin Daily" named Shao Piaoping. He is a young talent in the journalism world. He is very famous for exposing corrupt officials and criticizing the Qing Dynasty with his big pen. He is especially popular among passionate young people.
He always respected Sun Wen, but his first reaction after hearing Tao Chengzhang's words was that he didn't believe it, so he jumped out to oppose it.
Tao Chengzhang still had a smile on his face: "Reporter Shao, I also want to believe this is true. I am a revolutionary. I am ready to die on the battlefield and die in the execution ground. But I think for a soldier,
The saddest thing is the overt and covert attacks from my comrades. Now I am heartbroken. We once came together to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Who would have thought that now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, we are going to fight each other with swords and guns. But the facts are all there. I grasp it.
One of the assassins was arrested. This person's name is Wang Zhuqing. He has already confessed that the other assassin is named Jiang Zhiqing. He is Chen Qimei's sworn brother. It is Chen Qimei who is behind it. Everyone must know who is behind Chen Qimei.
!”
The reporters present were all well-informed people. They had known for a long time that Tao Chengzhang and Chen Qimei were at odds. Tao Chengzhang had a falling out with Sun Wen some time ago, and Chen Qimei was Sun Wen's confidant. So I'm afraid Tao Chengzhang's words were unreasonable.
It's not a lie.
Shao Piaoping was speechless for a moment, and then Zhang Jian took over the conversation: "Dear journalists, today we are not going to investigate the murderer, but we are going to tell the world that we have established the United Party. Thousands of years of monarchy are now over, and democracy is over.
The era of republic has arrived, and we have formed a political party to serve the well-being of all people, which is also the highest goal of the United Party!"
Zhang Jian brought the topic back. Although everyone was blazing with gossip, everyone also knew that the establishment of a political party would likely affect the future political situation. It was extremely important. Those who showed up today were all heavyweights. If these people
If it is really integrated, even the powerful Beiyang cannot ignore it. This is definitely a signal of the rise of a new force, so everyone is also interested.
"I would like to ask you gentlemen, China is now in decline. Now that you have established a political party, how do you think your party can make our country rich and strong?" This time the questioner was still a young man, Huang Yuansheng.
"Haha, this reporter asked a very good question. China is now far behind the world. How can we get rid of this situation? I once asked Governor Qiao Yu this question, and he gave me two answers.
One word: development! China lags behind others in all aspects of economy, politics, military, education, and culture. This cannot be changed in a day or two. Only development can bring about the awakening of the people and restore China's sovereignty.
Development is the key to solving everything that can make people rich!"
Wang Dongcheng talked eloquently, and many reporters, including Huang Yuanyong, began to record it from time to time. The word development was imprinted in everyone's mind. Nowadays, most Chinese people think that if they can strengthen the country after democracy and republic, they can quickly become rich and powerful. However,
Qiao Yu's message conveyed by Wang Dongcheng gave China a prescription for development, which was refreshing to everyone...
If China wants to become strong, it will have to go through a long period of development. Being strong is not something that can be achieved overnight. The press conference ended soon. Zhang Jian, Cheng Dequan, Song Jiaoren and others were all busy and dispersed. However, Wang Dongcheng took the initiative to stop Tao.
Into a chapter.
"President Tao, I will leave to return to Sichuan soon to establish a branch of the United Party and cheer for the president!"
"Mr. Wang has put in a lot of effort these days, and it's all thanks to Governor Qiao's warning that I was able to escape the assassination. I would like Mr. Wang to thank Governor Qiao on my behalf!"
After the separation, Wang Dongcheng left Jiangsu and Zhejiang. His destination was not Sichuan, but the three towns of Wuhan. Sun Wen and Japan had signed the "Han Yeping Sino-Japanese Joint Draft Agreement" and the text of the draft agreement had been obtained by intelligence personnel.
If this draft contract is announced, it will be even more explosive than the assassination of Tao Chengzhang. It is foreseeable that a new round of public opinion storm is about to break out.
After Tao Chengzhang held a press conference, people from all walks of life were discussing who assassinated Tao Chengzhang. A group of people under Chen Qimei also came forward, saying that Chen Qimei did not know Jiang Zhiqing at all, and that Wang Zhuqing was a member of the Liberation Society.
It was Tao Chengzhang who conspired to split the revolutionary party and seize power.
Just when everyone was still discussing who was right and wrong, the more explosive news was first announced by Hubei Business Daily. The words "Han Yeping Sino-Japanese Joint Draft Agreement" were like several heavy blows falling on China.
In people's minds, will Hanyang Iron Works be betrayed? Will Asia's largest iron works fall into the hands of the Japanese?
This is the hope and pride of the Chinese nation. However, it did not shine after entering the Republic of China era and did not become a driving force for China's industrialization. However, it was sold out, or sold out by the dignified revolutionary leaders.
, the huge gap caused public opinion across the country to boil.
"China can sell everything, but not steel plants! Even if steel plants can be sold, they cannot be sold to Japan!" Zhang Jian, who has always been unwilling to be in the limelight, was the first to shout this.
"The dignified China cannot be without its backbone, how can the glorious China lose Hanyang!" Shao Piaoping was also furious. The leader he worshiped wholeheartedly betrayed the national interests at this juncture. He felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. A few days ago, he
He also defended him, thinking that the assassin was only the mastermind of Chen Qimei. Now it seems that who did it does it matter?
"Sell Hanyang today, sell Jiuzhou tomorrow." Huang Yuansheng wrote angrily in the article, "Steel is the basis of industrialization. The Manchus are as stupid as the Qing Dynasty who still built the largest steel factory in Asia. Now that the Republic of China is founded, Hanyang will be sold.
, I suddenly realized that the Republic of China was not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Why do we want revolution? What do we want from the Republic of China!"
The entire land of China is caught in this kind of questioning, why are we still revolutionizing? Countless young students across the entire land of China, including the north, took to the streets, waving flags, shouting loudly, and strongly opposed the betrayal of Hanyang Iron Works, and at the same time a round of opposition
The wave of Japanese products is also rising.
Japanese cloth was burned, Japanese paper was discarded, Japanese gadgets were ignored, merchants selling Japanese goods were also chased, all major cities in China were in turmoil, and public opinion was boiling.
"Brother Yun Ji, are you drunk every day, are you still the ambitious Yu Peilun before?" Ju Zheng happened to meet a drunk man lying on the ground on the street. When he saw that this man was missing an arm, he took a closer look at his face.
It’s Yu Peilun, a revolutionary in the past. Why has he fallen to this level now?
"Yunji, you must cherish your body and keep a useful body to serve your family and country. What have you become now? Where have all those ambitions gone?"
"Where have they gone? They've drifted away in the wind, they've all drifted away!"
